Famed Super 30 institute, which is run at the residence of Anand Kumar in Patna where students from underprivileged sections are provided free coaching along with food and lodging, IIT JEE candidates have stolen the show again with 28 out of 30 candidates qualifying. Anand Kumar reacted by saying said that the results were attributed to students’ hard work and sincerity. "I would have been happier had all the 30 students made it. But it cannot be always like that. I wish all the success to those who have not been able to make it. They will certainly excel in their chosen fields," he added. (Representative Image)

Significantly, the successful students from Super 30 academy are wards of a marginal farmer, daily wager and small time teachers. While Bipin Kumar's mother Kumari Chanchala is a teacher in a small private school far away in Palamu (Daltonganj), his father Vijay Kumar Gupta is unemployed and the family is barely able to make both ends meet. “After class 10, I felt like discontinuing my studies, as my family just could not afford further education. Thinking of IIT was just out of question,” the boy recalled. Ajit Kumar, whose father Naresh Choudhary sells vegetables in Patna’s outskirts, was a happy boy. “Our efforts have been rewarded."
